Apple TV and Android TV app
Please make an app for Apple TV. Something like SIMKL Lists adapted to tvOS from iOS would be adequate. But ideally something more along the lines of what Trakt provides in their 2 series apps. Ideally I could replicate the flows I currently use w/ Trakt.
- Ability to navigate to a show/movie, view seasons, and individual episodes.
- a button from the series, season, or episode to watch the show -- pressing watch button on show would pop up either the first season or first ep in app or Plex or Infuse -- pressing watch button on season would drop you…

Global/Mixed lists
It would be grate to have mixed lists and not only "TV Shows"/"Anime"/"Movies" lists, but a global one where we could put the 3 types.

UX enhancement - Unify the search box
Summary : Users are dumb, help them and reduce the simkl teams support workload.
The vast majority of support threads are along the lines of "My show/movie/animie" is not listed
🔹 Missing - 68 support threads
🔹 Missing Movie - 244 support threads
🔹 Missing tv show - 358 support threadsIf the search results were unified i.e. searching for "Utopia" gives the result for the TV Show, The Movie and The Anime, in one place, reducing the number of "my thing is missing / please add it" threads would be reduced.
Lets assume that most users will…

Personal recommendations based on personal ratings
Currently, Simkl generates recommendations based on what you've watched. It would be much better to build recommendations based on personal ratings. For example, I don't want to see something similar that I marked as 1-5, for example, which is kind of more logical.

"Collected" tag/flag for episodes
Trakt used to do this for me, then then broke it and then... well, we all know what's happening with that dumpster fire!
Essentially all I'm after is a way to track episodes / movies that I have in my collection (ie have ripped / downloaded). I don't care about format (VHS, 720p, 4K... doesn't matter), just that I have it. A tick box to say "got it" is all I need.
A count of episodes (so I can easily spot missing ones) would be an additional lovely thing to have.

Allow marking a show as "Completed" without marking every episode as watched
Currently, marking a show as completed automatically flags all of its episodes as watched. For many shows this is fine, but it doesn't fit how people actually watch certain series.
For anime especially, a lot of episodes aren't essential viewing, filler arcs, recap/summary episodes, side stories, and so on. Plenty of viewers intentionally skip these but still consider the show "finished." Right now there's no way to reflect that: I either have to mark episodes I never watched, or leave the show as incomplete even though I've seen everything I wanted to.8 votes -
Add option to list only free streaming, not ones you have to pay for.
I love that I can choose movies that are already streaming so I can easily pick my next movie for the night. I also love that I can choose all the apps I have and it tells me where I can watch the movie I want. What I would love is to be able to see which movies are free on one of the streaming apps I already have, rather than having to click on the movie and then finding out that it's on Prime but I have to pay $19.99 to stream it.

Dub completion notifications + dub filter and infos in general
Hey! I was referred here by Azmarine from the forum. I'm a VIP member and honestly one of those people who recommends SIMKL to basically everyone I know, so this comes from a good place!
There's one thing that's been genuinely frustrating me for a while though. I watch a lot of shows and anime dubbed, and SIMKL only notifies me when something finished airing, not when the dub is done. It sounds minor but it really isn't. I get excited about a new show or season, start watching, get invested after like 4 episodes and then the dub just…

A Calendar option that shows when Dub is released
Currently the the calendar only shows when the sub episodes of a show are released. It would be cool if there was a filter to show only when the dub is released.

See all comments posted by a user similar to how History works
Would be great if we had an option to view all comments (that we leave) just as we can view our history, similar to a certain website called trakt.tv (which has recently gone to shaite, unfortunately) excuse my language, silly me.
But anyhow, viewing all of our comments plus the ability to import them from trakt would be a huge plus, thanks!12 votes -
Sequel checker (missing in franchise)
I would like SIMKL to implement something like this site https://anicheck.moe/ where you have a thing that shows you everything in franchises you missed for any movie, tv show or anime

Social Watch Activity: Which Friends Are Watching / Recently Watched Episode or Film
I would love to see SIMKL introduce a more social “watch activity” system for movies, TV episodes, and anime episodes.
Right now, we can already see friend ratings, but it would be amazing if SIMKL expanded this into real-time and recent viewing activity.
1. Show who is currently watching
For a movie, TV episode, or anime episode, display:
- Which users are currently watching it
- How many people are currently watching
- How many of your friends (followers/following) are currently watching
Example:
- “63 people watching”
- “5 of your friends are watching now”
This would make SIMKL feel much more alive and social.

With GDPR Data Backup and Storage Compliance shouldn't you allow backup csv for free?

Ability to ignore/untrack specific seasons for a show
Add the ability to ignore or stop tracking a specific season or episode from Unwatched. This would be for cases where the show has standalone seasons you picked it up in a later season with no intention of going back. This way your unwatched episodes isn’t 200+.

Option to choose if you want separate tabs or combined.
So, when I'm looking for something to watch, I'd like the option to combine everything (TV, Movies & Anime) instead of having to go to each tab and search through them. Would it be possible to get an option where we can combine all three on the discovery/recommendation page? I'd also like lists to be combined, too, instead of having to separate them.

Non-binary option
It would be cool if on your profile you could set your gender as some form of non-binary option.

On-site Notification Center for New Releases
Simkl currently supports email and push notifications for new episodes, films, and anime, but some may find these channels overwhelming or easy to miss. E-Mails get buried in crowded inboxes, and mobile push notifications are quickly dismissed and forgotten.
Thus the idea to introduce a dedicated, persistent notification system directly on the Simkl website.
Key Features:
- On-site Notification Center / Meta Box
A clickable icon (e.g. bell) in the header or sidebar showing the number of unread notifications.
- Structured History View
A full-page view listing all past notifications grouped by date and type (TV, anime, movie), with filters…41 votes -
Distinguished filters for physical media & digital releases
Currently in the lists, the “DVD” filter combines digital releases and physical media (in this regard, this label is misleading and should be renamed if it is to be kept).
I suggest adding (or replace by) distinguished filters for physical media releases only then for digital releases / VOD.6 votes -

Show voice actors etc. based on the users set language
Pay tribute to those whose voices make not only Animes come to life, but also transfer jokes to our mother tongue. Never ask yourself again where you know that voice from.
Sorted or filtered by language, maybe a setting in the user settings that uses the browsers language as default. Fallback could be English.
